The smooth operations of high-risk facilities do not only depend
on robust design and technical process operations but also on
human behaviour, chiefly in three areas:
|
 |
The pollution caused by the human body in environments
that must keep a high level of cleanliness (air quality and surface
contamination) |
|
The protection of the human body against hostile
attacks from the environment: inhalation, contamination, chemical,
nuclear and bacteriological attacks, and electric discharges |
|
Irrational, group or individual behaviour of the
people working in hazardous conditions (panic, failure to recognise
dangers, group inhibitions, and so on) |
| These three factors may
cause disruptions in overall operations if they are not properly
controlled. |

| The
Teams |
|
A scientific team of 10 researchers |
|
A technical team of 50 engineers |
| |
|
| Equipments
|
| Technical fine-tuning can
be done at the training school, www.pole-de-formation.com
|
| |
|
| Methods |
| The methods, skills and expertise draw
on the extensive experience acquired at the regional industrial
facilities where the teams run checks on the 'tough spots' in
operations, and prevent them by training the personnel. Training
involves risk and hazard awareness, practice exercises in actual
environments, and the acquisition of work reflexes. The expertise
of several laboratories may also be marshalled: |

du risque, laboratory for social-anthropological risk analysis)
